In the heart of the Great Depression. Fireside chats with Roosevelt on the radio, and front porch chats all over Colquitt. And there is PLENTY to talk about. The WPA projects are just getting underway, with locals lining up for the priviledge to work. The revenuers are getting one last jab at local moonshiners before Prohibition is repealed. And an out of place Yankee, visiting Colquitt as part of the WPA oral history project, finds herself in a very strange world as she discovers a secret marriage, a bootlegging milkman, a fourth generation farmer, root doctors and a resident who's real age isn't quite known because the birth records were burned during the War Between the States. She's the oldest person in the region, and has seen the world go from horse and buggy to automobile, from telegraph to telephone, from front porch to radion, and she holds the secret to an unopened trunk that has been hidden away fro decades. Why was it hidden? What's inside? Will she remember where the key is? And will she tell? Mysteries abound in Swamp Gravy's next play. Ain't no tellin' what will happen next!
